All Princes In Their Rooks

Kurt Philip Behm 

Are you a Poet or tactician,
 or “A Rose By Any Other Name…”

Are your words stained with patina,
  some would scrub and some would blame

Is your Kingly ode too rough for some,
  finding safety in their books

Is your verse uncut with edges sharp,
 —all Princes in their rooks
